    If you need proof of residence, then where will your wife be living whilst she waits for her visa? You could use proof of that.
  2. appleblossom
    Ah. @EMBELL_17, when does your mothers period of stay on her ESTA expire? I guess it will depend on when your oath ceremony is, but hopefully you have enough time to petition for her after you become a citizen and before she has to leave.

    How do you know how many people are interviewed each month?
  4. appleblossom
    There's no part of it that asks, it will be determined based on the answers you give and if you're deemed eligible you'll be told instantly via email. My interview for a non-immigrant visa was waived last year as I met all the criteria and was applying from the UK (having never lived anywhere else).

    Type it backwards? So for example, if somebody's name was EMMA, and when inputting that it changed it to AMME, I'd just type it in backwards so it read correctly. But I wouldn't worry about it, I'm sure it's perfectly common with Arabic and other right to left languages.

    Most people just type the name and address out on a piece of paper, but I guess that should work.
  7. appleblossom
    Ah perfect. Some people don't like the idea of not being able to leave if there was an emergency in their home country. As long as she definitely didn't intend to stay when she entered the US (i.e. hasn't given up a home in the UK, shipped her possessions etc) then she should be good to go, and you can apply before her ESTA expires. Good luck.
  8. appleblossom
    No, and in fact she can't leave until she has AP in hand. Make sure she's ok with not being able to leave the country for up to 9 months or so - if she's not ok with that then it would be better for her to return to the UK and you apply for her via consular processing.

    You've not filled in your timeline so it's hard to tell, but are you sure your son will still be eligible as your dependent if he's over 21 already? Was your petition done under premium processing?
  10. appleblossom
    Oh that's awful, bad enough to have a delay but it's terrible that is isn't even needed. So you left question 61 blank and filled in question 62? Definitely an error on USCIS's part then and you shouldn't be penalised for that. Potomac is quicker than other service centres but is still 16 months or so unfortunately. I really hope somebody can help you get it pushed through sooner if it was USCIS's mistake. Is there any way of making a formal complaint maybe to try and get somebody to sit up and notice? Best of luck to you.

    If this is the petitioner, then it won't have any impact at all then.

    It doesn't sound like he's ineligible for a visa. It's his 'wife' that is, as they're not legally married so she cannot get a visa as a derivative.
  14. appleblossom
    I'd just type it in instead of copying and pasting.
  15. appleblossom
    Curiouser and curiouser! Your timeline says the consulate received your case on 1st September, where did that date come from then?
  16. appleblossom
    Which country was this in? Some countries would treat driving without insurance as a criminal offence and then yes, it absolutely must be mentioned.
  17. appleblossom
    I think you’ve been told a load of nonsense by a call handler tbh. As @SalishSea said, your whole file must have been sent to the consulate otherwise an interview wouldn’t have been scheduled. And you know the reason they’re doing AP - if they didn’t have all the data from your petition they’d have asked other questions.
  18. appleblossom
    They are permanent residents of the US and are therefore expected to live there permanently to maintain that status. It sounds like they have never actually lived there in 6 years of holding green cards? They got off lightly IMO, sounds like the border officer was very lenient with them. What ties can they show to the US? Address, utility bills, bank accounts etc? Have they been filing their tax returns every year? If your parent don’t intend to live in the US anytime soon, it may be easier for them to relinquish their GC’s and for you to sponsor them again when they are ready to move and to make the US their permanent home.

    Took a picture of what? What is your mother’s native language?
  20. appleblossom
    It’s 2 years or more of marriage when she enters on the immigrant visa, not when she applies.
  21. appleblossom
    It may take a while but they should respond. When do you travel back to the US?
  22. appleblossom
    I agree with @Crazy Cat, it doesn't look like an error. I suspect it's a standard warning that everybody gets, just to tell LPR's that they cannot apply to petition a parent, and you can safely ignore it and carry on as you know you are eligible to do so.
  23. appleblossom
    You won't be documentarily qualified until you submit all the required docs. You'll still need to take the original cert to the interview though.
  24. appleblossom
    OK, that's odd, as NA3 isn't mentioned in the exemption list (https://www.uscis.gov/forms/filing-fees/uscis-immigrant-fee#Who_Pays_the_Fee). But if your son didn't pay it then I guess not, so I'd suggest you report it as non-received then - https://egov.uscis.gov/e-request/displayNDCForm.do?entryPoint=init&sroPageType=ndc When did you leave the US, are you sure it hasn't been delivered in your absence? Do you have somebody opening your mail?
  25. appleblossom
    Previous processing times aren't really relevant. Currently it's at 17 months, so yes, you're well within normal processing times at the moment. https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ Just checking, you did file before you left the US? As for your daughter, her GC should have arrived within 90 days if you definitely paid the GC fee? What does the online status say for it?
